001: video

[avephoenix]

Hi, everyone!

[For a video being shot in the middle of a zombie invasion, the redhead onscreen sure looks cheerful. Is it because she's in Delight's bar, or because she's having fun fighting the undead horde?

Both. And then some.]

I'm Faith, I just got here a few days ago. Lucky me, right? Well, no, I really am, 'cause a friend of mine from home's been here for months now.

[She shifts her phone so Kate appears on the screen, casually fighting a few zombies.

When Faith turns the camera back on herself, she is mid giggle.]

Anyway! We've picked up another roomie and moved into a house, and I think that calls for a party.

So! Delight's been good enough to lend the bar for it! [Hence why she and Kate are currently defending it from the undead.

Well, okay, no. They just wound up here, but Faith's pretty sure Delight appreciates people protecting her contribution to the city's entertainment.]

Now's not a good time, I know, but once these little bastards are gone, we should all get together and celebrate! 'Cause we survived, and 'cause I really do still want a housewarming.

So how 'bout... a week from today? If the zombies are still 'round then, I'll reschedule. [Because that's... how living here works...?] Oh, and if you can sing, d'you want to? Delight says some of you are good at that!

[She glances offscreen -- at Kate, probably -- then back at the camera, shrugging.] Time to get back to work. Let me know, yeh? I'll answer you soon as I can. Bye!

[She blows a kiss and gives a little wave before the feed cuts out.]

( it's probably unsurprising that Kate's wearing her sunglasses while killing zombies - even if they have no powers, she's so used to fighting with them on that it's instinctive (as long as she doesn't look directly at Faith while wearing them, it's fine) - but the shirt she's turned into a cloth that's wound around her head? that's new. it probably looks a little ridiculous, but it does mean that, once she's stepped away from the pile of corpses, flexing her arms because damn does a quarterstaff take it out of you when it's not your thing, she can pull them off and be clean as a whistle on her face.

(it's practical, for so many reasons, one of which is the protection from infection, the other? the other is something that Faith knows about all too well.) )

Aye. My arms need a break.

[avephoenix]

[Not surprising at all.

Sorry about the blinding light there, Katydid.]

You need to practice more, yeh? I'll show you how!

[Both now, as she takes her quarterstaff and walks towards the next incoming undead, and later, when they have the time to do so at their leisure.

She doesn't say anything else, though, just goes to town on the zombie in front of her.]

[dedikated]

( she's just gonna sit back and... ignore all the blood splatter. yep. that's a great thing to avoid. )

Way too bulky.

( they are. how are you supposed to properly dash, jump, work from a distance if your weapon only extends a few feet in front of you? )

[avephoenix]

What!?

[You'd best believe Faith is stopping after braining this one, wiping blood off her brow, and turning to look at Kate with wide-eyed disbelief.]

I'll remind you now that this quarterstaff is the least bulky one in existence! Lightweight, cuts through the air quick and perfect, hits as hard as you make it hit. You're just angry 'cause you're a beginner with it.

[Those are definitely fighting words.]

[dedikated]

( keep ranting, firebird. Kate's just gonna... toss a knife, casually, over your shoulder and hit a zombie square in the third eye. )

Bulky. ( she stresses the word, the y coming off as more of an eh - Bulkeh. can't do that with your quarterstaff, Faith. she hasn't even stood up from the barstool. )

[avephoenix]

[Mean. Cheeky! Okay, the blood is gross, but still.]

I'd stick my tongue out at ya if not for the blood!

[dedikated]

Yeah, don't do that.

( the amusement drops from her face in a flash. do not even think about that, Faith. blood and zombie guts is how this shit is transmitted. )

[avephoenix]

Not going to, Kitkat. [She wrinkles her nose in Kate's general direction instead.] 'm not about to get turned.

[She definitely still sounds like she's having too much fun.]

[dedikated]

Good girl.

( here, have another knife in the face of a zombie as your reward. )

[avephoenix]

[And down goes the last one that managed to make it into the bar.]

Good teamwork! [Thumbs up!]

[dedikated]

Would think so.

( after their entire history, they better be a decent team at least. )
